Graduate enrollment has increased nearly 40 percent as well, to 945 students, and PhD enrollment has increased nearly 60 percent to 447 candidates. Retention of all first-year engineering students is 93.3 percent, compared to the University goal of 94 percent. Faculty research and journal publications have soared, and research productivity within the School now exceeds $90 million.
History The University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering has a long and distinguished history. The first engineering courses at Pitt were established in response to the growth of Western Pennsylvania during the early industrial revolution, with the first degrees of “Engineer” awarded in 1846, thereby establishing Pitt as the nation’s sixth earliest engineering program. The involvement of Pittsburgh industry in the years surrounding the Civil War transformed a regional industrial base into one with strong international significance, and the University responded to the need. In 1868, specialized degrees in Civil and Mechanical Engineering were developed, with Mining Engineering following in 1869, and Electrical Engineering in 1890. The Department of Metallurgical Engineering was established in 1909, followed by the Department of Chemical Engineering and the world’s first Department of Petroleum Engineering in 1910. Also that year, the School created one of the nation’s first undergraduate Cooperative Education (co-op) programs. Another example of innovative programming resulted in the establishment of one of the nation’s first departments Industrial Engineering in 1921. The most recent department, Bioengineering, was established in 1998. Among the many prominent individuals associated with the early history of the School were Samuel Pierpont Langley and Reginald A. Fessenden. Langley, credited with developing the engineering science of aerodynamics during his 24 years at Pitt, designed the first heavier-than-air craft capable of flight and greatly influenced the Wright Brothers. Fessenden, brought to Pittsburgh by George Westinghouse as the first electrical engineering department head, obtained more than 300 patents. Through his pioneering studies with voice transmission, Fessenden is today credited with being the “Father of Radio” and made the first broadcast of the human voice in 1906.

Throughout the 20th century the School of Engineering continued its growth, and moved to a new Engineering Hall in the 1950s. This was also accompanied by the institution of new programs such as international education to strengthen the academic experience of engineering students. As the student population continued to grow, the University developed plans for a larger facility and commissioned the construction of Benedum Hall of Engineering, in honor of a grant from the Benedum Foundation. Benedum Hall was completed in 1971. The 1990s saw the emergence of new centers of excellence which promoted cross-disciplinary infrastructure between departments, as well as the launch of the new bioengineering program and the Center for Biotechnology and Bioengineering at the Pittsburgh Technology Center, on the former site of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Mill Complex in nearby Hazelwood.
Engineering for the 21st-Century In 2007, the School became the Swanson School of Engineering after a landmark event: John A. Swanson (PhD ’66), founder of ANSYS Inc., made the largest individual philanthropic commitment in the history of the University of Pittsburgh at that time. Because of his remarkable generosity, the Board of Trustees presented a formal resolution on February 29, 2008 and announced the changing of the school’s name to the John A. Swanson School of Engineering. His gift, along with that of John C. “Jack” Mascaro (BSCE ’66, MSCE ’80), founder and chairman of Mascaro Construction Company, enabled a multi-year transformation of Benedum Hall into a building with more open labs and “smart” classroom space, enabling greater collaboration between faculty and students. A new three-story annex that connects to Benedum Hall was completed in 2009 and is home to the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation as well as labs, classrooms and the new Bevier Library. In 2012 the Swanson School received a $22 million grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation - one of the largest private foundation grants in Pitt’s history. The gift will accelerate the research and education efforts of the Center for Energy, create new faculty positions and graduate fellowships, and establish a fund for spurring innovative research on a newly designated Energy Floor in Benedum Hall. Later in 2012 the Swanson School exceeded its $180 million campaign goal and announced that over $200 million had been reached, part of the University of Pittsburgh’s comprehensive $2 billion campaign. The funds enabled the full transformation of the Swanson School of Engineering, celebrated with a “Building a Better Future” building reception on May 20, 2016. The U.S. Green Building Council recognized the transformation of Benedum Hall with LEED Gold status. On April 14, 2014, to mark the tenth anniversary of the University of Pittsburgh’s Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation (MCSI) and to build upon the ongoing philanthropy of two of Pitt’s most generous donors and engineering alumni, Pitt announced a new $37.5 million funding initiative comprising various endowments and current funds to support sustainability-related academics and research. Through the leadership of a new Sustainability Task Force established by the Office of the Provost, the University extended sustainability initiatives throughout Pitt’s academic programs and research initiatives. Mr. Mascaro and Dr. Swanson, both of whom contributed toward the new sustainability initiative, inspired this expanded commitment to sustainability. On March 3, 2016, Pitt and the Swanson School that an expansion of engineering, energy research and entrepreneurship at the Energy Innovation Center (EIC) in Pittsburgh’s Hill District. The 18,600-square-foot laboratory and incubator – which occupies one-third of the EIC’s Central Lab area, making it the largest tenant – represents Pitt’s initiatives to provide more flexible, large-scale space for energy research and to encourage partnerships with industry. The EIC, developed by Pittsburgh Gateways Corporation in the former Connelly Trade School, is designed to engage corporate and community leaders, align workforce development and education, develop and demonstrate technology, and incubate businesses to support emerging clean and sustainable energy markets. The facility provides Pitt with more space than currently available in Oakland or at the Swanson School’s Benedum Hall of Engineering. The laboratories will include: The Next Generation Energy Conversion and Storage Technologies Laboratory, headed by Prashant Kumta, Professor of Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, and Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, focuses on energy conversion and storage including high energy and power density rechargeable battery systems, photoelectrochemical systems for harnessing solar energy for water splitting, and high power density charge storage systems.

The Electric Power Technologies Laboratory, led by Dr. Reed, will focus on advanced electric power grid and energy generation, transmission, and distribution-system technologies; power electronics and control technologies; renewable energy systems and integration; smart grid technologies and applications; and energy-storage development. The High-Temperature Corrosion Testing Laboratory, led by Brian Gleeson, Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, focuses on the assessment and development of materials needed for harsh service environments. The EIC allows Dr. Gleeson to relocate his lab from Iowa State University to Pittsburgh. Lastly, the Pitt Incubator Laboratories, developed by former Vice Provost for Research Mark S. Redfern and the University’s Innovation Institute, will provide affordable space for start-ups launched by faculty and students at Pitt.
New International Partnership, New Campus In 2013 the Swanson School led a University effort to create a joint institute with Sichuan University, one of China’s premier engineering schools. Pitt is one of only five U.S. universities to have entered into a large-scale partnership agreement with a university in China; the others are Carnegie Mellon University, Duke University, New York University, and the University of Michigan. Sichuan University initially invested nearly $40 million to support the construction and equipping of a new 300,000square-foot building to house the Sichuan University – Pittsburgh Institute on its campus. With emphases on advanced sustainable manufacturing and educational innovation, the institute will initially offer three undergraduate degree programs: industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science and engineering. Students in the institute will be recruited from the United States, China, and possibly other countries, with the first class of 100 students matriculated in fall 2015. Within seven years, enrollment is projected to grow to 1,600. Students will spend the first two years of the program immersed in the Pitt curriculum in China with the option of transferring to Pitt’s main campus during their third year in the program. Students who transfer to Pitt directly after their sophomore year will earn a bachelor’s degree from both Sichuan University and Pitt, and all students will receive an institute certificate upon completion of their studies. Qualified students will also be able to continue their graduate studies at Pitt. Officials from Pitt and Sichuan University in China participated in a groundbreaking ceremony on July 2, 2014 at the Sichuan University campus in Chengdu to launch construction of the first building. The first entering class matriculated during a special ceremony with Pitt Chancellor Patrick Gallagher and others on September 25, 2015.

Swanson School of Engineering Special Academic Programs First Year Engineering Academic Program – Integrated Curriculum The School of Engineering’s First Year Engineering Academic Program consists of a well-designed series of integrated courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics and engineering. All engineering first year students pursue this common, integrated core, which includes an honors component for the most academically gifted students. The two specially designed engineering courses (ENGR 0011 and 0012) not only introduce students to basic engineering skills and problem formulation and solving methodologies, but also provide an overview of the various engineering disciplines. A unique aspect of the program is the integration of instructors from the English Writing Center and the School of Engineering Bevier Library staff into the first year coursework. As a result, students complete two major writing projects: a first semester paper describing in-depth an area of engineering that the student is interested in as a possible major and a second semester paper that is part of the professionally run Annual Freshman Engineering Conference, in which all first year engineering students participate. This later paper must be on a relevant engineering topic and include a discussion about sustainability. Student papers are arranged into sessions chaired by professional engineers. Session chairs meet with the students during the semester, critiquing the developing papers and offering suggestions for improvement. First year engineering students also participate in a two-term engineering seminar (ENGR 0081 and 0082), conducted in part by upper class peer advisors. These seminars provide general information on the transition to college, the improvement of study skills, and an overview of the various engineering fields. Moreover, students are given several opportunities to visit the various programs to discuss with faculty their anticipated program of study. In addition to these opportunities, the First Year Engineering Program office provides career and academic advising, workshops, and assistance with the Engineering Living Learning Community which is located in Forbes Hall. Special programming is also conducted in Sutherland Hall, the LLC for first year honors students. Honors Options A selected number of outstanding students are offered the opportunity to take ENGR 0711 instead of ENGR 0011 during the Fall Term. This accelerated course covers the two-course sequence in one term, enabling students to choose from two special courses in the Spring Term: • ENGR 0712 provides an opportunity to learn mathematical modeling and research methodologies with one of the School’s most distinguished faculty • ENGR 0715 provides students with an opportunity to apply engineering methodologies in a service learning environment with local organizations. ENGR 0715 Engineering Applications for Society is a unique, rewarding learning experience for first year engineering students who have completed the prerequisite ENGR 0711 Honors Engineering Analysis and Computing Fall semester course. The course provides a “Service Learning” experience through which students learn and develop valuable skills necessary to succeed as an engineer by solving a real problem of value to a local community organization. The goal for this course is to create a win-win experience for both the students and the community organizations. In return for their participation in the students’ educational process, the community
17
organizations benefit by having a problem of value addressed or “solved” by the students. Not only are the students rewarded by the satisfaction of solving a real problem of value to their community, but through this experience they learn many personal and professional skills that cannot be learned in a traditional engineering curriculum. In particular, they learn that solving problems as an engineering professional truly involves more than the equations learned in classrooms where the answers can be found at the end of a book. International Programs The Swanson School of Engineering has been one of the first engineering programs in the country to recognize the increasingly international dimensions of engineering practice. To us, this not only means that a large proportion of our graduates must be prepared for overseas assignments, some of which may be of long duration, but it also means that a substantial portion of engineering work will continue to be sent offshore to technically competent engineering graduates who demand salaries that are considerably less than current US salaries. The implication is clear – US engineering education will have to change if our graduates are to remain competitive in the market place and bring value beyond their technical skills. Consequently, a major long-range objective has been to create a broad, coordinated program of international opportunities for our students that enable them to learn to work as engineers in cross-cultural environments. This suggests creating a variety of courses and exchanges, including some in which Pitt engineering students join international students in design projects working both virtually and on-site. Swanson School students have the option to choose to study abroad for a semester, a summer, or as part of a short-term program (of four weeks or less), as well as to participate in an international research experience, internship, or service learning project. Much of our success is due to the Swanson School partnering with the International Business Center and the College of Business Administration. We have also worked closely with the University Center for International Studies (UCIS), its area studies centers, and especially the University’s Study Abroad Office. These partnerships have resulted in several successful initiatives, several of which are outlined below (please note that these programs are not always offered every year): The Plus3 Program - The “Plus 3” program is for rising sophomores. It builds upon material covered in Managing Complex Environments for CBA students and ENGR 0012 for engineering students. The School of Engineering has participated actively for the past several years, sending both faculty and students abroad. The three-credit course begins with four preparatory class sessions in March and April, followed by a twoweek study trip in early May, then ends with each student team presenting a final report in early September. During the two-week trip, business and engineering students work in teams as they make a number of company visits and prepare a report on a particular industry. Pitt students also have an opportunity to interact with local students, hear guest lectures and make several cultural visits while in the host country. Each trip is led by a faculty member accompanied by a support staff from Engineering, the College of Business Administration, or the University Center for International Studies (UCIS). The Plus3 program aims to cultivate interest in foreign language study and future study abroad. This is particularly important for engineering students, as the discipline has traditionally been less well-represented due to time constraints imposed by strict curriculum requirements. The Plus3 model has been so successful that the University of Pittsburgh has adopted it to create “Integrated Field Trips Abroad,” now a component of courses across the university curriculum. The Plus3 Program received the 2005 Institute for International Education’s Heiskell Award for innovation in study abroad. Engineering for a Better Environment Brazil – this short-term program is offered to students who have an interest in renewable energy. The program, which is offered as a three credit course at Pitt, introduces students to various forms of green energy in Brazil.
18
Engineering in the Americas Before Columbus: Cusco, Peru – this short-term program is offered to students with an interest in structures. The program, offered as a three credit course at Pitt, brings students to Cusco, Peru to study sites from the Incan culture and to work directly with a local community to address a technical issue relating to structures. Engineering of the Renaissance: Pitt in Florence – this four week, six credit program focuses on exploring various sites of significance to the development of the European Renaissance. By visiting the actual places where the great minds of the Renaissance- including da Vinci, Galileo, and others actually conducted their research and studies, students are introduced to the important principles of engineering and physics that were developed during this period. Undergraduate Student Exchange with the Universidad De Montevideo – this three credit, two-week course on “Global Supply Networks and Manufacturing Cultures in Latin America” was developed in collaboration with colleagues at the Universidad De Montevideo. It provides participants with an understanding of international supply chain operations with a special focus on Latin American and Uruguay. The two-week study visit to Uruguay enables students to place their understanding of those concepts within an international, cross-cultural context. As part of our agreement with the Universidad de Montevideo, we accept their students as part of an exchange, where they can study at Pitt for a full semester. INNOVATE (International Technology, Innovation and Leadership Conference) –This ten-day study trip for a large group of US students and several international students in early March visited several countries in Asia. The Symposium addressed how technology has driven globalization and business decision-making. The ENGR 1600 course was taught as a collaborative effort between Pitt and Rice University using video conferencing. It was divided into three sections: the pre- and post-trip phases and the actual trip. Prior to the trip, the course focused on topics related to Asian countries and globalization, with guest speakers drawn from Asian Studies alumni with expertise in Asia. These lectures provided the basis for comparative discussion and analysis. Topics included: leadership, technology trends, history and politics, economics, contemporary culture and demographics, and specific analysis of different business sectors. After returning, students documented their experience, through an end-of-semester formal paper and presentation at the annual Alumni Dinner. Internship and Exchange opportunities in Germany - The University maintains an exchange agreement with the UAS-7 Consortium – seven Germany universities (Berlin School of Economics, Bremen University of Applied Sciences, Cologne University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Munich University of Applied Sciences, Münster University of Applied Sciences, Osenabrück University of Applied Sciences) whose core academic strength is their engineering/technical degree programs. The agreement allows for the exchange of students from the UAS-7 universities and the University of Pittsburgh for study and internship experience. As part of this exchange agreement, SSOE undergraduate students can be selected to participate in the UAS-7 Consortium’s “Study and Internship Program (SIP) in Germany” Program. Selected students spend the fall semester taking courses at one of the Universities of Applied Sciences, and spend the spring semester doing a full-time internship at a German organization that is arranged by their host university. Students in the SIP program receive substantial funding from Germany to participate in this program. Engineering Exchange: Brazil (formerly FIPSE-CAPES) - In AY 2007-2008, an agreement was signed for the federally-funded FIPSE-CAPES program: “US-Brazil Partnership in Sustainability and Innovative Design (S&ID) between the SSOE and two Brazilian institutions, the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Federal University of Espirito Santo (UFES). This agreement allows for the exchange of SSOE students and UNICAMP and UFES students for study, as well as a provision for key faculty to develop curricular projects that focus on issues of sustainability, product realization, and innovative design. In AY
19
2010-2011, a new FIPSE CAPES agreement was signed for the project “Bilateral Development on Aeronautic Skills between U.S. and Brazil� between the SSOE and two new Brazilian institutions, the Federal University of Itajuba (UNIFEI) and the Federal University of Parana (UFPR). This agreement has allowed the exchange of students and faculty, as well the development of innovative shared curricula. Engineering the German Way: Munich. This 3-week, 4-credit program is offered in conjunction with the Munich University of Applied Sciences in May. This intensive term highlights the German approach to engineering from various perspectives. Academic course modules include R&D management, introduction to production and manufacturing systems, digital factory layout and factory simulation, product ergonomics, cooperation between unions and employers and the impact of technology laws in Europe on manufacturing. The program is designed to split time between the classroom and integrated field experiences at various industry locations around Munich. Each technical component of the course is combined with a factory tour to gain deeper insights. Globex (Beijing, China) - this 4-week (spent in China), 6-credit program provides the opportunity to study two of a variety of engineering courses including Cell and Tissue Transport, Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology, Cross Cultural Design for Service, Mechanics of Solids, Manufacturing Engineering, Biomaterials and Biocompatibility, or Photovoltaics: Solar Energy. The courses are taught through a combination of classroom lectures, projects, and presentations in a very exciting and modern society. This is a joint study abroad program with Peking University (PKU). Clean Energy Grid Engineering: Scandinavia – This program introduces students to electric power transmission and distribution grid technologies dedicated to reliably, efficiently, economically, and safely managing electric power across utility networks in the U.S. and internationally. The course covers the application of various grid technologies from power generation through power consumption including transmission networks, grid automation, power electronics systems, communications and control, protection, grid operations, grid connectivity, renewable energy resource integration, cyber security, micorgrids, DC technologies, and other emerging areas, as well as a brief introduction to power utility markets, business processes, and policy/regulation. Denmark and Sweden have successfully made renewable energy sources a large part of their energy usage. Sweden managed to reach its goal of a 50 percent renewable energy share and Denmark reported that 42.1 percent of the country's energy needs in 2015 were met by wind power according to the state-owned energy company. Engineering a Craft Brewery: Europe - This three-credit spring semester course teaches students to analyze and characterize the entire brewing process. Students experience the process first-hand while traveling to a European destination over the spring break. During the spring break experience abroad, students evaluate brewing options and equipment for commercially relevant operations, relate brewing process variables to style characteristics, and justify brewing choices based upon brewing science, engineering, and economic considerations. Semester-Long Engineering Exchanges. The Swanson School of Engineering has agreements with over 45 engineering schools from around the world. These institutions provide at a minimum some instruction in English. Exchanges allow Swanson School of Engineering students the opportunity to pursue a fullsemester of coursework in their academic major at a foreign institution. Student Organizations Engineers Without Borders - is a non-profit, humanitarian organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in developing communities via small engineering projects. EWB addresses problems of health, sanitation, economy, technology, or education by partnering with the community to design an
20
appropriate and sustainable solution. The University of Pittsburgh student chapter is currently completing an international project that involved assessment, design and implement of a sustainable fish farm to provide a source of protein and trade for the community of Makili, Mali, West Africa. Student members and professional mentors from the Pitt chapter traveled to Makili in order to complete assessment and implementation phases of this project. Engineers for a Sustainable World - is a non-profit organization of technically-minded individuals working on improving solving sustainability challenges through technical design projects and educational initiatives. ESW's members and student chapters work on their campuses, in local communities, and internationally. The University of Pittsburgh chapter has a strong record of collaboration with local communities, including rainwater catchment systems for the local neighborhood of Oakland, designing green renovations for the town of Vandergrift, and a current project to revitalize a pond and community center in the town of McKeesport. The chapter also proposes and implements multiple smaller on-campus projects every year, including Pitt's inter-dorm energy reduction competition and a rain garden at the Petersen Events Center. Engineers for Sustainable Medical Development (ESMD) - is a multi-disciplinary, multi-school student-run organization comprised of students in the fields of engineering, pre-medicine, and business. ESMD is directed toward providing students with the skills and resources necessary to design and implement novel, low-cost healthcare technology and processes suitable for markets on a global scale. Currently a student design team is working on design of a portable ocular microscopy mount in conjunction with a larger project at the Ear and Eye Institute that is funded by the Coulter Program. ESMD holds weekly workshops to teach skills such as SolidWorks design, soldering, and working with microprocessors. ESMD volunteers also help to refurbish wheelchairs weekly at Global Links, an NGO with operations and contacts throughout Central America. EMSD is working with Global Links to create an international immersion experience that would provide EMSD members with an opportunity to work directly with health care providers in developing countries. Cooperative Education Program (Co-Op) The post-graduate numbers for students who participate in co-op are very strong once again, with a 94% placement rate and 86% acceptance rate of full-time offers with co-op employers. The average starting full-time offer for a graduate with co-op experience was $65,336. The average GPA of a co-op graduate was 3.337. Over 300 co-op employer partners participated in the program last year. Despite our largest co-op fairs and growing number of employer partners, the overall program participation numbers grew slightly from 1075 to 1085, and our new placements for the year fell from 415 to 380 new placements. We had a number of applicants who did not apply for positions, and there were some positions that went unfilled. Job markets are very strong for most disciplines, but we still struggle with the chemical and bioengineering placements, and continue job development efforts particularly in those areas. Our Co-op Employer of the Year was Curtiss-Wright, who has been with our program since 1989, and has been a tremendous supporter of Pitt co-op; nearly 300 students have co-oped with Curtiss-Wright. Our co-op student of the year was Kendra LaVallee, J&J/McNeil Healthcare chemical engineering co-op, who went on to win the ASEE National Co-op Student of the Year Award. This is the fourth national co-op award win for the University of Pittsburgh, and only Georgia Institute of Technology can claim four award winners. Our goals for the year are to continue working with students to successfully place them in valuable co-op positions; we are also partnering with the newly formed School of Computing and Information in a co-op venture. Although we have worked for many years with CS students, we are now working with IS in assisting to place their graduate and undergraduate students. 2017 marks the 30th anniversary of Pitt Co-op. Over 6,000 students have participated and benefited from this program.

Sustainable Engineering Undergraduate Research Program through Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation MCSI currently offers a 12-week undergraduate summer research program aimed at providing talented undergraduate students with creative opportunities that go beyond the engineering classroom curriculum and enable them to develop their own ideas and work independently on hands-on research projects in sustainable engineering with advice and guidance from a faculty mentor.
ENGINEERING OFFICE OF DIVERSITY Pre-College and Undergraduate Diversity Programs The Swanson School of Engineering implements programming that promotes and supports the academic excellence of high achieving pre-college and undergraduate students from groups traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. INVESTING NOW is the pre-college diversity program and Pitt EXCEL is the undergraduate diversity program. These two initiatives provide a continuous pipeline for students from groups traditionally underrepresented to prepare for, enter and graduate from the University of Pittsburgh as STEM majors. INVESTING NOW Created in 1988, INVESTING NOW is a college preparatory program designed to stimulate, support and recognize the high academic performance of pre-college students from groups that are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and careers. The purpose of the program is to ensure that participants are well prepared for matriculation at the University of Pittsburgh. The primary goals are to 1) create a pipeline for well-prepared students to enter college and pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics majors; 2) encourage and support students’ enrollment and achievement in advanced mathematics and science courses; 3) ensure that the participants make informed college choices; 4) support and encourage parents in their roles as advocates for their children; and 5) coordinate partnerships between the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering and local and regional schools. INVESTING NOW recruitment, which focuses on eighth grade students, takes place in the spring of each academic year. However, membership involves a student commitment to attend year-round programming from ninth through twelfth grade. Some of the student activities include academic advising, tutoring, hands-on science and engineering workshops, college planning sessions, summer enrichment classes and SAT preparation. Approximately 214 students, including the 2016 graduates and the newly admitted eighth grade students, participated in the INVESTING NOW program during the 2015-2016 academic year. In 2016, 37 INVESTING NOW students graduated from high school. Of these, 100% of the graduating class enrolled in college for 2016-2017 and 54% of the students are majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics fields at various colleges and universities. Pitt EXCEL Program Pitt EXCEL is a comprehensive program committed to the recruitment, retention and graduation of academically excellent undergraduates, particularly individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field. Program activities include academic counseling, tutor and study sessions, engineering research and mentoring opportunities, graduate school preparation and career development
22
workshops, as well as a two-week intensive chemistry, math, physics and study skills review session for pre-freshmen entitled the Summer Engineering Academy. Brief descriptions of the major programs sponsored by Pitt EXCEL are highlighted below: Summer Research Internship (SRI) Each year, selected Pitt EXCEL students participate in a nine-week Summer Research Internship (SRI) Program. Students are assigned to faculty mentors who lead research teams. Each student meets regularly with Pitt EXCEL academic counselors to review daily journals, discuss progress, and collaboratively discover innovative solutions to engineering problems. The primary objective is for students to develop a positive relationship with a role model in their discipline of engineering. Additional objectives for facilitating a mentoring partnership include the following: personal and career guidance; access to the professional community; and guidance that will ease the transition from school to work or undergraduate to graduate school. There were 10 students and 9 faculty mentors involved in the 2016 Summer Research Internship Program. Summer Engineering Academy The Summer Engineering Academy is a two-week residential program for incoming engineering students that enable them to make a smooth transition from high school to college. During the program, students learn essential study skills for college and receive an intensive review of chemistry, math and physics concepts, with an introduction to engineering problem solving. There were 24 incoming first year engineering students who participated in the 2016 Summer Engineering Academy class; this number included 10 females and 14 males. Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate -Transition to the Doctorate by Adaptable Engagement (PITT- STRIVE) The University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering Transition to the Doctorate by Adaptable Engagement (PITT- STRIVE) is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate-Knowledge Adoption and Translation (AGEP-KAT). The primary goals of the AGEP (PITT-STRIVE) are to (a) significantly increase the number of underrepresented minorities (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders) obtaining graduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and (b) enhance the preparation of underrepresented minorities for faculty positions in academia. The overarching goals of PITT-STRIVE at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering are to: • Improve the transition of URM (African/Black American, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Native Americans) students, who are US citizens, into doctoral engineering programs at the University of Pittsburgh; and • Create a systemic engineering culture and climate that ensures the success of URM transition to the doctorate through adoption/adaptation of evidence-based strategies for student and faculty engagement. PITT-STRIVE scholars are recruited from universities across the U.S. Students must meet U.S. citizenship or permanent residency requirements. Qualified participants will have graduated from an accredited STEM undergraduate program with a 3.3 GPA and show strong motivation for entering a PhD program. All PITT – STRIVE Scholars must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.3 to maintain the award.
23
PITT- STRIVE currently has 6 scholars and 20 fellows who are enrolled in different engineering fields within the Swanson School of Engineering. A grant, totaling $1,584,793, was awarded in October 2015 to the Swanson School of Engineering by the National Science Foundation. Additional support and funds were provided by the University of Pittsburgh and the Swanson School of Engineering. This award provides U.S. underrepresented students with a stipend and tuition, in addition to support for summer study. This is a five-year program and it continues through August 31, 2020. Activities associated with PITT-STRIVE include a mentor/mentee weekend retreat, the Discover Graduate Recruitment Weekend, faculty-student engagement training, and the faculty-student engagement training. PITT-STRIVE is part of the National Science Foundation's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP). Global Engineering Preparedness Scholarship Program (GEPS) In 2014, the Swanson School of Engineering and its Office of Diversity were awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to establish the Global Engineering Preparedness Scholarship Program (GEPS). The goals of the GEPS program are: to provide access for engineering education to talented lowincome students, with a concerted effort to increase the enrollment of underrepresented minority students; to provide continuous academic support for the retention and graduation of the GEPS scholars; and to provide more opportunities for GEPS scholars to develop global competency and leadership experience. All GEPS Scholars must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 to retain the scholarship. As part of the scholarship, GEPS scholars live in the Engineering Living Learning Community; participate in peer and group mentoring sessions; and participate in internships, CO-OP, and research opportunities. Additionally, all GEPS Scholars who complete the second year of the program with a GPA of 3.0 and above are eligible for the GEPS International Study Abroad Scholarship and will travel to South Africa. GEP Scholars are selected from a pool of admitted students or transferring students meeting U.S. citizenship or permanent residency requirements and having unmet financial needs as determined through the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid. During the spring of 2016, 4 freshmen and 3 transfers were recruited as the final GEPS cohort, bringing the total number of GEP Scholars to 24 as of fall 2016. Excluding four scholars who are first semester freshmen and two new transfer students, 83% (15/18) of the scholars currently hold a GPA above 3.0. The remaining 16.6% (3/18) have been placed on probation while they work to raise their GPAs. Currently, five scholars are in co-op programs; two have had research opportunities in SSoE labs; and all of the scholars have become active in student organizations, with four serving in leadership roles. Undergraduate Enrollment The School continues to actively engage students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field of engineering. Figures from the beginning of academic year 2015-2016 indicate that there are approximately 177 ethnically underrepresented (African American, Hispanic and Native American) students enrolled, representing 6.0% (177/2973) of the undergraduate student body in the School and 3.3% (99/2973) multiracial undergraduate students. Female students represent 28.1% (835/2973) of the undergraduate student body. Undergraduate Graduation
24
During the 2015-2016 school year, 35 ethnically underrepresented students (29) African Americans and (6) Hispanics graduated from the Swanson School of Engineering, representing 5.2% (35/678) of the graduates. In addition, 29 multi-racial students graduated, representing 4.2% (29/678) of the graduates. Of the 678 graduates, 200 were women, representing 29.5% of the graduate population. DIVERSITY GRADUATE ENGINEERING INITIATIVES The Engineering Office of Diversity (EOD) administers the Diversity Graduate Engineering Initiatives to identify, prepare, and recruit traditionally underrepresented students for graduate engineering education through partnerships with student organizations, graduate research experience and diversity graduate fellowships and scholarships. GRADUATE RECRUITMENT PROGRAMS Pre-PhD Undergraduate Research Experience Program The purpose of the Pre-PhD Summer Experience is to create a pipeline for students who wish to pursue PhD degrees in engineering at the University of Pittsburgh and support their preparation and transition to SSoE. The Engineering Office of Diversity (EOD) identifies engineering students with a GPA of 3.5, and from groups traditionally underrepresented in engineering from institutions across the nation. Students are assigned faculty mentors who lead multidisciplinary teams in advanced research and are expected to challenge the students and inspire them for graduate education. Each student is required to perform a number of tasks, including work a minimum of 30 hours per week; meet with their faculty mentor regularly; and attend bi-weekly mentoring sessions with the Associate Dean for Diversity. Four students participated during the summer of 2015 and five students participated during the summer of 2016. Graduate Diversity Fellowships The EOD has implemented an aggressive strategy to recruit underrepresented graduate students, expand college visits and widen fellowship opportunities. With the support of the Office of the Dean, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of the Chancellor, the University of Pittsburgh is a member in the National GEM (Graduate Engineering Minority) Consortium. The GEM Consortium program awards fellowships designed to offer opportunities for undergraduate students to obtain M.S. and PhD Degrees in engineering through a program of paid summer internships and graduate financial assistance. One GEM Fellow is continuing her studies in Bioengineering. Twelve K. Leroy Irvis Fellows were enrolled in PhD program studies in 2015-2016; seven in Bioengineering, two in Mechanical Engineering, one in Electrical and Computer Engineering and two in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering. The Dean’s Graduate Diversity TAs continue to be a positive incentive to departments that make best efforts in the recruitment of students from diverse backgrounds. Eight terms were given to departments for the 2016-2017 academic year: Bioengineering received 2.5; Chemical and Petroleum Engineering received 2.5; Civil and Environmental Engineering received 2; Electrical and Computer Engineering received 1; and Mechanical and Materials Science Engineering received 1. GRADUATE RETENTION PROGRAMS Graduate Student Organizations
25
The Engineering Diversity Graduate Student Association (EDGSA) was created in 2011 as a network of minority graduate engineers. The purpose of EDGSA is to foster an opportunity where minority graduate students can connect and network with each other as accountability partners to provide a strong support group to encourage academic retention and transition to professional careers within engineering. EDGSA students also serve as peer mentors to NSBE and SHPE as models to follow in graduate education. The Graduate Women in Engineering Network (GWEN) is a newly recognized student organization whose mission is to retain women in STEM fields, promote women in leadership capacities, and create an official network for women in engineering. GWEN, although founded in 2005, was reactivated in 2013 as an official women graduate student organization by female faculty members and EOD as a major voice for Women’s issues at SSoE. As with EDGSA, GWEN also serves as peer mentors to SWE as models to follow in graduate education and retention of more women in engineering. STATISTICAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES Graduate Enrollment and Graduation: The School of Engineering has had success in increasing the numbers of female and underrepresented students enrolled in its M.S. and PhD programs. The M.S. enrollment in 2015-2016 reflected 114 female students (21.6%); 25 underrepresented M.S. students (4.7%); and 5 multiracial students (.09%). Of 78 PhD degrees conferred between August 2015 to April 2016, 17 were upon women (21.7%) and one was awarded to an underrepresented minority student (1.2%). Of the 244 master’s degrees awarded in 2015-16, 58 were awarded to women (23.7%); three were awarded to underrepresented students (1.2%) and seven were awarded to multi-racial students (2.8%).

271/291 students (93%) responded to a post-graduate survey that asked: where did they complete their co-op rotations, if their co-op employer offered them a full-time position and if so, did they accept the position. If students did not accept a position with their co-op employer, the survey asked for information about their current employer, and all students were asked to provide their salary. Finally, students were asked if and where they were attending graduate school. 94% (255/291 students) are employed in engineering and/or attending graduate school.

Sanjeev G. Shroff Distinguished Professor of and Gerald McGinnis Chair in Bioengineering, Professor of Medicine, and Core Faculty, McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. PhD (Bioengineering), University of Pennsylvania, 1981. Dr. Shroff's research interests include three main areas: (1) Relationships between left ventricular mechano-energetic function and underlying cellular processes, with a special emphasis on contractile and regulatory proteins and post-translational regulation of cardiac contraction (e.g., via phosphorylation or acetylation). Whole heart, isolated muscle, and single cell experiments are performed using various animal models, including transgenic mice. This basic information regarding structurefunction relationships is currently being used to develop novel inotropic therapies that are based on altering cellular composition using genetic means and to optimize the fabrication protocol for engineered cardiac tissue such that it possesses the desired contractile and energetic properties. (2) The role of pulsatile arterial load (vascular stiffness in particular) in cardiovascular function and potential therapeutic applications of vascular stiffness-modifying drugs and/or hormones (e.g., relaxin). One of the hypotheses being investigated is that aberrant vascular stiffness changes are involved in the genesis of certain cardiovascular pathologies (e.g., preeclampsia, isolated systolic hypertension in elderly). Novel noninvasive measurement techniques are used to conduct longitudinal human studies, which are complimented by in vivo and in vitro vascular and cardiac studies with animal models. (3) The role of regional contraction dyssynchrony in global ventricular mechanics and energetics. In addition to basic research, Dr. Shroff and colleagues have developed and continue to develop novel, simulation-based material (i.e., mathematical models of biological systems and associated "virtual experiments") for education and engineering design.
